Something you never, ever, want to happen (body FAIL)
Tuesday evening I was sitting on the couch with my mildly sick (cold/cough) kids and out of no where, an insanely sharp pain jabbed me in my right side just under my ribs! Now I was kinda sick that morning and figured I kinda had what the kids had and as such, I brushed off the pain. Some time goes by and BLAM! The same pain but now it's not going away... fast-forward to late that night, I am throwing up and in even more pain. I took to 'hydros' and tried to sleep. Woke up Wednesday morning to a wonderful world of "YOUR BODY HATES YOU!" It wasn't long after that, that the only thing I could do was scream.
Arriving at the ER, we get checked in and get some CAT scans done to find that my Appendix is twisted, and tucked backwards and up towards my kidneys! ... oh yeah... and ruptured! So I had a long appendectomy and now am forging through medications, anti-biotics and pain at home... waiting for this all to resolve and get me back to work. This has been a long 'weekend!'
